US Wind Power Generation vs US Exports

US Wind Power Generation and US Exports correlate at r = +0.49 over 42 years (1983–2024), p = 9.2e-4. With the time trend removed, r = -0.50. Direction flips without the trend.

Verdict: Direction flips without the trend. The raw correlation is 0.49, but once each series' time trend is removed it becomes -0.50. The year-to-year movements run the opposite way to the long-run trends, so the headline number is misleading.
